Cosmic Injustice

Mercury has thermometers.

Venus has carnivorous plants.

Mars has chocolate candy

But Earth gets freakin’ ants?!

Where Do The Colonists Sign Up?

So when you die the tax man comes

To take of your estate

While you pay tax on a hospital bill,

Pine box, and granite slate,

Then wear taxed clothes to the funeral.

You’ll arrive in taxed-gas powered cars

Which is why I will die as an astronaut:

‘Cause there’s no taxes yet on Mars.

We are the .0000000000000000000000000000000000000…1 percent

“My feelings matter”

Screamed the important human

And a few quadrillion cubic lightyears

Of hyper-intelligent space blobs

Smiled and reminisced

On when they thought the same thing.

Two or three universes away

The process repeated.

It made  a Great Commemorative Mug Shot

The sign said “no trespassing,”

But I did.

The police came driving up,

So I hid.

The cops found me out,

So I lied.

They sent me off to prison,

Where I reside.

They ask “would you do it again?”

I say “yes.”

Were I smarter, I wouldn’t be

In this mess,

Because next time at Nasa

My face

Won’t be in the hole for

“Take your picture in space.”

Why Aliens Don’t Visit Anymore

Earth has too many humans,
And jupiter has too much gas.
Mercury and venus
Are much too hot to pass.

Mars just might have martians ,
And Saturn has too many rings,
And I don’t like the awful puns
Uranus always brings.

Pluto is a lovely place,
But it’s just a planetoid,
And Neptune is a neighborhood
The prudent should avoid.

I’ve flown around for years now,
But I’ve never found a place
And cool and dark and cozy
As life in outer space.
